Banya No.1 - Hoxton is a traditional Russian banya at 17 Micawber Street in Hoxton, north London. Opened in 2012 by founder Andrei Fomin, it was the first Russian banya to reintroduce traditional steam baths to London. The banya is now part of a group that also runs sites in Chiswick, Tbilisi and Paris. The Hoxton venue is open daily from 09:30 to 22:30, with mixed sessions most of the week, women-only hours on Monday mornings (09:30-12:30) and men-only hours on Tuesday evenings and Friday afternoons.

The core of the experience is the heat-and-cold cycle. The communal steam room (parnaya) is powered by a wood-fired brick furnace with cast iron heated to 700°C, running the room at 70-100°C with 40-60% humidity; cedar plunge pools are kept at 7-10°C, alongside ice-cold oak bucket showers. A private steam room is built from Kelo timber logs, and a Blizzard steam room directs cool air to the face during sessions. The signature Parenie ritual uses bundles of leafy twigs (venik) to work steam around the body, followed by cold water. Treatments include deep tissue and honey detox massages, body scrubs, mud masks and a Siberian birch-branch body wash.

Entry-level Sauna & Plunge sessions start from £37 for 90 minutes, while 2.5- to 3-hour spa packages run from £97 (Package No.1) up to £186 (Gold). Individual treatments range from a £20 sound bath to a £110 fifty-minute deep tissue massage. Private hire of the Taiga suite (up to 10 guests) starts from £125. Five monthly membership tiers are offered, from £50 to £399. Online bookings require a deposit (25% private, 50% public); cancellations are refundable up to 72 hours before the appointment.
